     The food was delicious. Service is great, cute spot not too big so keep that in mind if you’re going in a big group. The drinks are amazing as well. Would definitely recommend especially if you like seafood and tapa style restaurants.

    Service was outstanding, quite honestly could have been the best I’ve ever received in Charlotte. Our server Jordyn, Chris, and the GM were all extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and friendly.
